How did you know your ready? (pregnancy mentioned)

This is the first month that my husband and I are trying. I am super excited but have times when I feel a little unsure. Yesterday, I think I might have had a "sign" telling me that I'm ready to try again. I went into work to get my classroom ready (I am a teacher). The staff at my school is fairly young and it seems as though one or two teachers are pregnant at any given time. When I saw and talked with two women who are expecting I didn't really feel the pain like I used to and was not jealous. Don't get me wrong I shed a few tears on the way to school but that can be expected.

So basically I want to know how did you know that you were ready to try again? I am going to take yesterday as a cheesy sign because I think that I am more at peace now. Who knows it could change tomorrow.

Thanks!

Well I think for me ttc again is part of the healing process. Just knowing that we will get pregnant again and have a healthy baby helps me to go on. We basically started trying right away. I am just very stubborn and impatient and don't take no for an answer and even though I might be down in the dumps for a few days, I'm not going to give up. Good luck in your ttc journey and I really hope that a BFP is in your near future!

As Trish said, ttc is part of the healing process for me as well. I know a healthy baby is both our futures. I hope we both get our bfps sooner rather than later.

i agree with trish, total part of my healing process!!! i was ready immediately, but my body wasn't! good luck, i think you just have to follow your gut!

I was ready immediately too - I just knew that I wanted to try again...and we did but with no luck. Although I still have my bad days, and I know I will never forget my angel, I also have to believe that healthy babies are in my future. But having said that....I'm terrified that when I get pregnant again something will go wrong. I guess you just have to take it day by day. Good luck!!! I hope you get a BFP soon!

I think I knew we were ready when we quit trying to figure it all out and time everything. In other words, when we wanted a baby all the time and not only when it worked for both of our jobs, I knew we were ready. Also, when I stopped crying everyday, that was a good sign...haha.
